: /p> p>I wish we in Britain had an erudite politician such as Mr. Cheney, or someone as courageous as his wife, to publicly ask our very own BBC whether or not it wants the war (and we are at war) in Iraq to be won. I wouldn't mind even if one of the opposition party's MPs (gay or otherwise) chose to ask the question. Whoever so demands, the question needs to be asked and repeatedly so. Quite how the BBC can justify spending taxpayer's money to send one of its journalists to interview the leader of the Taliban in Afghanistan is beyond me. Particularly when the said Taliban leader boasts that he has a kamikaze-like army with British soldiers in its sights. Balanced reporting -- yeah right BBC! Stick to natural history programmes and make us proud. Better still; refund everyone their TV licence money, back-dated of course to our armed forces choosing. br> -- Graham Constable br> Oxford, England /p>

I do wish this Babbin fellow would make up his mind -- be he a Republican, or a neowhatever?

How is the enthusiastic admonition, "Sigh. Vote Republican anyhow, if only to annoy the media," supposed to cut the mustard with our Nutmeg cousins when Babbin endorses Nutroot Kerry's Democratic running mate over "whatshisname, the Republican nonentity in the Connecticut Senate race."

p>It's going to be hard sell, when even the Party of Lincoln Chafee next door can boast of a man who votes with his Republican brethren seven times more often than Jeb's man Joe. He has Halloween week left in which to redeem himself by discomfiting the truly gruesome liberals that may stalk the halls of Congress if he fails to get with the program. br> -- Russell Seitz br> Cambridge, Massachusetts /p>

Thanks for his summary for those who sensibly do not tune in to CNN regularly. As an admirer of Lynn Cheney, I made an exception. Resolved to suffer the insufferable Wolf Blitzer's inane interview style. But, what a treat! Blitzer should have known he was out-classed. Mrs. Cheney, no shrinking violet, had Wolf's guts for garters before the interview was done. Wolf's stammered attempts to stop her verbal fusillade were a delight to witness. His glazed look gave new meaning to the term "pole-axed."
